Robin Leach Obituary
Robin was born on September 21, 1939 in Lawrence, KS, the son of Joyce and Grace Stanwix Leach.
He was a dairyman, farmer, and realtor. He founded Lin-Crest Farms in rural Linwood and was still active there in the farming operation and the breeding of registered Holstein cattle. In real estate, he was still actively involved in the sale of land and residential properties with the Coldwell Banker Griffith& Blair firm.
Robin served in the Kansas Legislature as a State Representative of the 46th and 47th districts from 1976-1988. While he was in the Kansas House, he once testified as a Kansas Representative to the Senate Agriculture Committee in Washington, D.C. He maintained a strong interest in politics his entire adult life.
He was a member of the Perry Christian Church and the Kansas Board of Realtors. He was a lifetime member of the Kansas Holstein Association. He was a sports enthusiast, especially those of his grandchildren's athletic activities.
He married Lana McCarter on July 31, 1959 in Perry, KS. She survives of the home.
Other survivors include one son, Rob (wife, Lisa) Leach, Linwood, KS; a daughter, Chris (husband, Brian) Hahn, Linwood, KS; five grandchildren: Taylor Leach, Jake Hahn, Erin Leach, Anna Hahn, and Sophie Leach.
The family will greet friends on Tuesday from 6 - 8 p.m. at the mortuary in Lawrence.
